Lets think positively: Arraez did lead off the game with a deep fly to shortstop.

AKA medium deep left field.

Nice at bat by Miranda.

97.3 mph line out to deep right 

No strikeouts that inning, Verlander is losing it.

At this rate, Verlander will pitch a perfect game with 21 strikeouts.

If he can get a rebate on that missed strike 3 to Gordon.

I remember when Verlander was traded from Detroit.

Multiple folks here were dead set against the idea of the Twins getting involved. 

"Too old"

"Decline phase"

Hahaha

Folks on here have been known to be wrong a time or two.

With 3 catchers, Cant wait to see Leon and Sanchez bats both in the lineup, Pretty bad we cant bring up some o.f. help from ST Paul,  any A.A. maybe ?

Uh... the best options I see are Chris Williams or Roy Morales. We really don't have much left, Maybe if we still had Spencer Steer they could stick him at DH and probably do better than this.

Once I thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken.

Is this your way of saying it’s not a perfect game?

I take it Dazzle isn't in the booth tonite "recovering" from this weekend?

Too soon for the “Buxton catches that” jokes?

One breaking ball after another. Mancini just ignored any other possibilities.

As I said earlier in this thread, WHY is Gordon in center, and not Cave.

Buxton gets that

When you thought you were wrong you were wrong?

Because when you put a Cave in CF, the ball can get lost.

Is it a joke though

Question: would Wes Johnson even consider 8 straight breaking balls?

No. But no Abe Lincoln jokes please.

So . . . the Astros scored a run on only 2 hits . . . huh.

We're knocking him out way before that.

I'm back. Time to make good on that.

I didn't either until I literally heard knocking at my door as I was reading "knock knock" in a game thread!

What really drove it home was the fear that it was @USAFChiefthat was knocking!
